About this map

The Nashua River valley serves as the industrial and transportation corridor for Fitchburg and Leominster in the mid-1940s. Heavy rail infrastructure, including the Boston and Maine Railroad and the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad, underscores the region's manufacturing legacy, winding through the valley alongside satellite communities like West Fitchburg and Waites Corner. This 1946 edition reveals an intricate network of water management, with numerous reservoirs and ponds such as Notown Reservoir, Lovell Reservoir, and Sawmill Pond feeding the local industry and municipal needs.
